Online Municipal Case Resolution – No Court Appearance Required
Rahway Municipal Court now offers online tickets review to dispute certain moving violations through the ONLINE MUNICIPAL CASE RESOLUTION SYSTEM. By having a moving violation reviewed online, it is not necessary to make any court appearance.

Eligible traffic tickets will be reviewed by a prosecutor and you will be notified with his recommendation.

If your matter is not eligible for online ticket review, you can still request to have certain tickets heard in the Rahway Municipal Court. Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to our office.
